Mythili needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
Mythili needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $450.

Mythili lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Mumbai Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Mythili could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $450 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $380
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $30
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon, Nandini. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted.
you're not alone, Nandini. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
